You can use scattering media for that.  IIRC there are samples coming with
Povray illustrating this.

My IRTC entry from July 1999 has laser beams in it.  You can use a
different color for the light, and it should work.

Hope this helps,

  You mean like this? http://www.cs.tut.fi/~warp/photontest.jpg

  Scattering media (and photons in this case).
